Chapter 66: A Bloody Case Caused by a Stone
In the dense jungle, the huge canopy of trees shades the sky and the sun, and the branches and foliage are flourishing, and there are long vines entwined and intertwined.
The air is quiet and the birdsong is crisp.
A fluffy little guy jumped between the branches, it turned out to be a cute little squirrel, his eyes were rolling slightly, and the two teeth exposed by his mouth were particularly conspicuous, revealing a hint of cuteness.
This little squirrel is covered in soft brown and yellow fur, and with two small paws, it holds a huge pine tower on its chest, almost covering its body, which makes people laugh when they see it.
Suddenly, there was a regular sound of footsteps, and a figure passed under the big tree.
The sudden movement made the little guy a little nervous, and the pine tower, which was originally held tightly by two small paws, accidentally slipped from his chest for a while, fell straight down, and smashed on the grass, making a slight sound.
When the figure under the tree heard this, he immediately stopped vigilantly and stared around.
This uninvited guest was Pang Yuan, who came out to hunt again, Pang Yuan looked around, heard a cry overhead, and looked up to see the cute little squirrel in the tree.
The little creature had lost the pine tower and stared at the human beings who were disturbing him below, crawling restlessly between the branches, screaming in frustration.
Pang Yuan also saw the pine tower in the grass at this time, understood the source of the sound in his heart, looked at the anxious little guy in the tree, and couldn't help but smile.
The nervousness suddenly dissipated, Pang Yuan shook his head, did not stay any longer, glanced at the fluffy little squirrel above his head, and continued to move forward.
This was just a small episode on the road, but it made Pang Yuan, who was rushing one after another, feel a lot more relaxed.
It had been nearly two hours since he entered the depths of the vast forest, and Pang Yuan had been walking in the middle of the road without much rest.
Although it is not very strenuous to hurry, but in the deep forest full of dangers, it is necessary to pay attention to the movements around you at any time to guard against possible dangerous situations, and the mental pressure may be greater, coupled with the long time of traveling, Pang Yuan's physical exertion at this time is not small.
Pang Yuan found a wide and flat low grassland, sat down directly on the soil bag on the grass, and rested quietly, with a wide view around the grassland, and the surrounding situation could be seen at a glance.
The boy had spent most of the morning on the road, and had not gone out of his way to hunt, so he had not yet gained anything.
On the way, he encountered hares, foxes and other prey several times, but these animals were extremely agile and vigilant, and before the boy approached with a spear, he had already fled far away, so that the boy could only helplessly watch their fleeing backs.
Pang Yuan had no reliable means of long-range attack, and after scaring away his prey several times, the boy thought of using the stones that could be found everywhere on the ground in the forest as weapons and using flying stones to hit the target from afar.
It's a pity that the idea is very good, this kind of attack method is not so easy to practice as imagined, and it must go through repeated and large amounts of practice to see the results.
Pang Yuan tried a few times, with little success, the accuracy of throwing flying stones was not satisfactory, it was difficult to hit small prey, and the larger prey could not do much damage, but stimulated them to run faster.
However, the boy was not discouraged, but thoughtful.
In Pang Yuan's opinion, when his physical fitness is further enhanced and his throwing accuracy improves, this kind of flying stone strike may become a good backup means when hunting.
When sitting on the grass to rest, Pang Yuan was not idle, but picked up a small pile of large and small irregular stones, and the young man put the spear in his hand and began to practice the throwing of flying stones on the spot with great interest.
Pang Yuan randomly selected a target, which could be a bag of dirt in the grass or any of the surrounding trees.
The boy picked up stones of different sizes, and after aiming slightly, the hard stones in his hand were thrown vigorously, slashing through the air, and making a "whoosh... The subtle sound of breaking the air is very bluffing to watch.
However, the accuracy of the flying stones is not so pleasant, or it has been brushed, or it misses, and even the flying stones that can be rubbed to the corners can be said to be very few.
Pang Yuan was not discouraged by this result, but was a little happy, and every time he almost hit the target, he would be slightly excited, as if it was an alternative way of leisure.
However, the young man's flying stones were thrown at random, and the location was uncertain, which led to a trouble.
It is estimated that he was accidentally injured by the flying stones, and when Pang Yuan was still throwing at the target in seconds, his eyes suddenly aimed at the grass on the side, and a small animal was rushing towards him quickly, menacing.
Pang Yuan's heart was shocked, his body tensed up at this moment, grabbed the spear in his hand, a carp stood up, the young man spread his legs apart, pointed the spear forward, and looked vigilantly at the attacker.
Seeing this, Pang Yuan was a little happy in his heart.
The animals that are rushing towards here are not very large, and their bodies are less than a meter long including their tails, and they are low.
The fur from the top of the head to the back is grayish-white, and the lower fur is indeed pitch black, with a black nose and two small round eyes, but it is a male honey badger!
This male honey badger is not big, but his temperament is very irritable and fierce, this guy quickly rushed towards Pang Yuan, wanting to bite the young man's legs and feet, but Pang Yuan was quick and kicked away vigorously.
The honey badger that flew out rolled around the grass, then got up unscathed, as if enraged, and continued to rush towards it violently.
The male honey badger's fur is tight, thick, coarse, and very resistant to blows.
Pang Yuan's flying kick just now didn't hurt it at all, but instead provoked its anger, causing this guy to attack angrily again.
